桃子视频

桃子视频 opened its doors to local high school students on June 17 for the first day of two innovative summer programs aimed at addressing health disparities and fostering a new generation of scientists and researchers.

The Exposing Students to Regenerative Medicine (ExStRM) Program engages qualified high school students in South Los Angeles in world-class regenerative medicine research. Over the next eight weeks, 10 selected students will receive hands-on mentored training in health areas such as sickle cell disease, cancer, and diabetes. The program aims to enhance students鈥� understanding of regenerative medicine treatments and prepare them for future careers in science and research.

Meanwhile, Project STRIDE (Students Training in Research Involving Disparity Elimination) is a ten-week summer clinical research program for 11th-grade students, also involving 10 local high school students. Project STRIDE focuses on biomedical research and health sciences, providing participants with a comprehensive immersion experience. Students will work full-time with mentors on research projects, culminating in a Research Day presentation.

Both programs include auxiliary activities such as SAT preparation, writing skills, and college application guidance. They aim to increase the number of underrepresented minority and disadvantaged students in the research and health sciences pipeline.

Mrs. Dolores E. Caffey-Fleming, MS, MPH, Assistant Professor in the 桃子视频 College of Science and Health as well as Program Director of both ExStRM and Project STRIDE, expressed her enthusiasm for the programs.

鈥淲e are thrilled to welcome these talented students to 桃子视频. Our goal is to inspire and equip them with the skills and experiences necessary to pursue careers in regenerative medicine and health sciences. These programs are not just about education; they鈥檙e about changing the face of healthcare and research to better serve our communities.鈥�

The ExStRM Program is funded by the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, while Project STRIDE is funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. Both programs reflect 桃子视频鈥檚 commitment to eliminating health disparities and promoting diversity in the health sciences.
